About Sending Hugs Bundle

As the white flowers on the Peace Plant plant emerge, they symbolize the white flag to a ceasefire. If you need a little peace in your life or have recently suffered a loss, this one is the right choice. Legends have it that they represents peace and sympathy!

You'll see a lot of movement from the Calathea Plant as its leaves rise and lower by the time of day it is. When it's nightfall, the leaves raise as if trying to reach the sky, giving you a peek at its purple underside. During the day, they relax and display their unusual striping. Another common name for it is the Prayer Plant, which signifies praying hands at night! Overall, the plant is a symbol of devotion and focus on a schedule. Keep one around to inspire dedication!

Peace Lily plants are super easy to care for and perfect for beginners. Calatheas require a bit more attention.

Peace Lily plants are toxic to pets if ingested, but Calathea Freddy is non-toxic.

Peace Lily is native to tropical regions of the Americas and southeastern Asia Calathea is native to the tropical forests of Brazil, found growing under the shade canopies of the tall, tropical trees.

Peace Lilies are known as a representative of peace. The white flower is the symbol of the white flag, which is understood internationally as a signal of ceasefire. Commonly known as a Prayer Plant, Calathea closes its leaves at night and opens them during the day.

Plant Care Guides

- LightMedium
  
  Best in medium light, but can survive in a range of low to high.
- WaterMedium
  
  Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
- HumidityMedium
  
  Prefers humidity. Spritz occasionally.
- Temperature 65 to 80
  
  Keep this plant out of cold drafts near open windows or doors.
- Hardiness Zones10|11
  
  Outside: Keep them in full shade on a patio out of direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
- FertilizingSeasonally
  
  Peace lilies are not heavy feeders therefore, every six weeks is sufficient for their nutrient needs. Add a balanced liquid fertilizer to your water and dilute it by half. Fertilize throughout the late winter, early spring and summer months. Note: If your peace lily is not blooming, move them to a brighter area in the house to get indirect sun.
- Re-potting2 Years
  
  When receiving the plant, do not repot immediately but wait at least 6-12 months or if the roots are beginning to get crowded and growing through the drainage holes.
  
  Repot in the spring, using a 2"" bigger pot to keep the roots drier. (Too big of a pot could cause the soil to dry slower, which is not helpful.) Use a well-draining indoor potting mix with perlite to help with drainage.
  
  Water your plant in the old pot before transferring over and let sit an hour. Place a piece of screening at the bottom of the container over the drainage hole to secure the soil and allow to drain. Add soil to the bottom to elevate the root ball. Lift the plant and release the roots against the existing planter. Use a clean knife or garden trowel to wedge between the pot and the soil to loosen.
  
  Inspect the root ball. Notice if there are any dead or rotting roots and trim off with sterile pruners. If the plant is rootbound, cut through the roots to alleviate continued encircling.
  
  Ensure the plant is sitting about 1"" below the edge of the pot to avoid water spillage. Add more soil and backfill around the sides by tamping down. Fill up to the soil line but not over.
  
  Water thoroughly, leaving the soil damp but not soggy. If settling occurs, add more soil.
- CleaningAfter bloom begins to die
  
  Each time a flower blooms on the peace lily and turns brown, cut the stem off at the base. Prune off any yellowing leaves at the base of the stem. Clean any debris off the soil's surface. To clean, place the plant into a tub or shower. Use a watering can with a shower attachment using distilled, filtered, or water without chlorine or chemicals. Pour the water over the plant to wash away any dust. Do this each quarter to keep your plant's leaves clean.
- PropagationDivision
  
  Propagate and divide your Peace Lily plant in the early spring.
  
  Hydrate the plant the night before.
  
  Pull from the container and brush or wash away the soil carefully around the roots. Carefully divide and repot in rich, indoor peat-based potting soil mix, being aware that each new plant needs at least two or more leaves with sufficient roots attached.
  
  Use a container 2 inches bigger than the root ball with drainage and deep enough for their roots to grow. Place the plant at the same level as the previous pot adding soil at the bottom.
  
  Water the soil and add more soil if settling occurs.
  
  Set them in medium to bright, indirect sunlight while they are rooting.
  
  Check the moisture and humidity each day and add misting to keep the soil moist while the roots establish.
  
  After 6-8 weeks, roots will begin to establish. You can tug onto the stem to ensure the roots are anchoring well.
- LightMedium
  
  This plant enjoys bright to medium indirect light.
- WaterMedium
  
  Keep the soil slightly moist and water when the soil reaches a #5 on the moisture meter. Use filtered, bottled, or tap water sitting 24 hours to release the chemicals and water enough to discharge out of the drainage holes. Once the water is fully drained, replace it into the cache or decorative pot. Don't let the roots sit in standing water. During winter months, water less frequently but keep it humid around the plant.
- HumidityHigh
  
  Add up to 60% humidity by adding a pebble tray filled with water, grouping with other plants or using a humidifier.
- Temperature 65 to 75
  
  Avoid any sudden temperature changes. Keep humidity high in warmer temperatures.
- Hardiness Zones10|11
  
  Outside: Grow in morning light, partial shade (4-6 hours) where nights are above 45°F. Indoors: The Freddie Plant prefers bright to medium, indirect light for at least six hours in a southern, eastern and western windows.
- FertilizingMonthly
  
  Fertilize monthly during its growing period. Use a high nitrogen liquid fertilizer at half strength to increase foliage health. Reduce during the fall and winter months while the plant is in its dormant phase. Flush the soil periodically to eliminate salts from fertilizing.
- Re-potting2 Years
  
  When receiving the plant, do not repot immediately but wait at least 6-12 months. Repot in the spring, using a 2" wider pot. (Too large of a pot could cause the soil to dry slower, which is not helpful.) Use a well-draining indoor potting mix with perlite to help with drainage or an african violet potting mix. Place a piece of screening at the bottom of the container over the drainage hole to secure the soil and allow it to drain. Add soil to the bottom to elevate the root ball. Lift the plant and release the roots against the existing planter. Use a clean knife or garden trowel to wedge between the pot and the soil to loosen. Inspect the root ball. Notice if there are any dead or rotting roots and trim off with sterile pruners. If the plant is rootbound, cut through the roots to alleviate continued encircling. Ensure the plant is sitting about 1" below the edge of the pot to avoid water spillage. Add more soil and backfill around the sides by tamping down. Fill up to the soil line but not over. Water thoroughly, leaving the soil damp but not soggy. If settling occurs, add more soil. Enclose the new plantings in plastic bags, mist and keep them in medium light. Remove the plastic bag when the roots are established. You may observe some leaf changes as it acclimates to its new environment. It may suffer some transplant shock depending on how tight the roots were intertwined together. Trim off any declining leaves as it regains its energy and gets rooted into the soil over time.
- CleaningMonthly
  
  Trim off any dead or damaged stems to keep energy moving to the healthy leaves. Shower the leaves using a watering can with filtered or rainwater to remove dust. Remove any debris on the soil and replenish soil if needed.
- PropagationDivision
  
  Indoors: Propagate and divide Freddie Prayer plants in the early spring when emerging from dormancy. Pull from the container and brush or wash away the soil carefully. Carefully divide and repot in a rich African violet mix. Use a container that has drainage and is deep enough for the roots to grow. Set it in medium to bright, indirect sunlight while they are rooting. Enclose the new plantings in clear plastic bags, mist and keep them in medium light. Remove the plastic bag when the roots are established. You may observe some leaf changes as it acclimates to its new environment. It may suffer some transplant shock depending on how tight the roots were intertwined together. Trim off any declining leaves as it regains its energy and gets rooted into the soil over time. Check the moisture and humidity each day and add misting to keep the soil moist while the roots establish. After 6-8 weeks, roots will begin to establish. You can tug onto the stem to ensure the roots are anchoring well. You can remove the clear plastic bag at this time but still maintain high humidity around the plant. Outdoors: Carefully loosen the soil and dig the roots up and separate the plant in new locations in your garden. Add rich, damp, and loamy soil in a part-shade morning sun location. Water with filtered or rain water at soil level.
